Somewhere Over Rainbow Falls

Rainbow Falls is an impressive waterfall located at Hilo, Hawaii. It’s about 80 feet high and about 100 feet in diameter.

A Unique Waterfall

Rainbow Falls is situated at a different angle than most other falls in Hawaii. The water falls off the north side of the waterfall. When you look straight down into it, you will see that the water runs away from the waterfall. This is because the water falls from above the water surface, rather than falling straight down from the top of it. The water is not stagnant either – if you take a look, you will notice that the water runs down as you would expect from flowing downhill on a river.

By Hiking

Most of the falls in Hawaii can be accessed through a hiking trail. However, the most spectacular part of this waterfall is when you get to the top. You can’t get to the top through a hiking trail, but there are other ways to view the top. One way to do it is by boat. A water taxi will drop you off near the shore and take the trail up to the top.

By Helicopter

Another popular way to view the Rainbow Falls in Hawaii is by helicopter. There are several companies that charter helicopters to fly over the falls and land them on the rocks. Seeing the colors from this view is breathtaking. 

By Boat

You can also rent boats to travel around the area as well. Most people will find that it is unnecessary to bring any special equipment with you to view the waterfall. If you don’t want to climb any rocks, you might want to rent a chairlift or an airplane for the trip.

Kilauea Fall

The waterfall in Hawaii is not the only one of its kind. There is another waterfall in the Big Island called Kilauea Fall. It’s located on Kauai. It’s even more significant than the Rainbow Falls at Hanauma. Beach, and it’s not as dangerous as the Rainbow Falls in Hana.

Both falls in Hawaii are top-rated attractions for tourists and visitors who come to Hawaii. However, if you have never visited either of these falls, it is recommended that you see the Rainbow Falls in Hawaii first. If you think that you’re up for the challenge, take a trip to the Big Island. The view of this waterfall from a helicopter is probably the best in all of Hawaii.
